That's What She Said!
Taxiing to the gate at CVG the other day, I heard somebody on ops frequency asking if we were at the gate, as they were scheduled to take our plane back out.
I switched over to ops and said, "We're coming, we're coming."
A few seconds later somebody came back with "That's what she said!"
I don't know who said it or if they're a member of these forums, but if they are I'd like to thank them. My captain and I were laughing so hard we almost had to stop taxiing; it was the most therapeutic laugh I've had in a while.

Couple years ago, one of my not-so-quick-thinking cohorts had to deliver a message from the ramp agents to a recently departed flight. They had forgotten to advise the crew of a live animal on board (it was 70 seat flight). She keyed up exceptions and told the crew they "had a an animal in their rear." She quickly turned beet red as the rest of us in the tower all started laughing hysterically.

I was taxiing at RDU, when a new Citation X was on Ground. Some one asked, "Is that a new Citation X?" A female voice responded, "Yes, we picked up last week." Someone else quickly chimmed in, "Too bad, the plane is broke, it's already got a crack in it." I teared up from laughing so hard. Gotta Love it...

Taking off out of CLT (how appropriate), a female controller cleared us for TO. I was PNF/PM. Got the switch to departure. Perform the after TO checklist and for the FIRST and ONLY time in my career I tuned but forgot to flip the switch (thats called sarcasm). So I check in with what I thought was dep, nope.
So the female tower controller says "you're still on me".
I respond with "you wish", then flipped the switch.

I didn't say this, but it was one of those times when you wish you would have thought of it about 1 minute sooner.
Coming out of the alley way in LAX, we get cleared to taxi to 25R via the outer taxi way. It looked clear to the right when we exited. In LAX ground controls sometimes poor coordination, a UAL 757 appears, in that slightly nose low attitude that indicated he was on the brakes.
The ground controllers says 'United, give way to the RJ exiting the alley"
A female voices quips up "sure, it didn't look like he was gonna stop for us"
I wish I would have said something like;
"Well honey, plenty of guys already had to stop for you on your way to United"
